For three months in 1939, Georgia O’Keeffe visited Hawai‘i and painted the Islands’ tropical plants and landscapes, capturing their essence and beauty. During two weeks on Maui, 12-year-old Patricia Jennings served as O’Keeffe’s guide and companion, showing her the lush valleys and hills of Wailuku and the plunging waterfalls, lava bridges, and black-sand beaches of Hāna. The bond forged between the Hawai‘i preteen and the American icon lasted a lifetime, and O’Keeffe’s letters and paintings give us a view of the Islands through the lens of the great American artist.

“Interesting insight into an unexplored chapter in the life of Georgia O’Keeffe.”
-- June O’Keeffe Sebring, niece of the painter

Tom Peek's debut novel picks up Hawaii's story where James Michener left off. Three Hawaiian women -- a young activist, an anthropologist, and an aging seer--- call forth their deepest traditions to confront an extravagant resort development. A visiting astronomer stumbles into their world, falls in love with the anthropologist, and enters a Polynesian realm of volcanoes, gods, and revered ancestors. But a murder on the lava and an impending eruption expose deep rifts in paradise.

"A page-turning thriller on the surface, a deep meditation on culture one level down, a spiritual tour-de-force at the core.”
-- Arthur Rosenfeld, tai chi master and novelist

Following her husband’s untimely death, Margaret Trost visited Haiti to heal her broken heart through service. Struggling to make sense of the extreme poverty and touched by the warmth and resilience of those she met, she partnered with a local community and together they developed a program that now serves thousands of meals a week to those in need. On That Day, Everybody Ate tells the story of her remarkable journey.

“This small, polished gem of a book is one compelling answer to many questions about how to inject meaning in our lives....” —from the Foreword by Dr. Paul Farmer

Hawaii's Uprising Against Militarism, Commercialism, and the Desecration of the Earth.

By
Koohan Paik and Jerry Mander

The authors and a team of attorneys, military strategists, and environmental activists expose in detail how Hawaii’s interisland ferry was hijacked by neoconservatives with vast military ties and is, in fact, a prototype for America’s sea-based military strategy. Without an Environmental Impact Statement and never approved by the people of Hawai‘i, the 800-ton Superferry rode into Hawai‘i on a wave of deception and corruption. The New York Times calls Jerry Mander “the patriarch of the anti-globalization movement.”

"Good for you—people of Hawai‘i—who’ve raised the alarm, and to these authors for pulling back the curtain.”—Bill McKibben, author Deep Economy

—Dario Fo, Winner of Nobel Prize for Literature.

Wayne
Moniz, the "Dean of Maui Playwrights,"
offers seven tales of his island home, each in a different
genre-love, detective, adventure, war, science fiction, and ghost
stories, and a Western-"to
preserve the memory of a time that is slipping away and to encourage
action to protect Hawaii’s unique land and culture."
In 2005, Moniz received the
Cades Award for Literature, Hawaii's most prestigious writing
prize.

"One of the most engaging works of fiction to come out of Hawai'i in a long while."
--San Francisco Chronicle
